After taking yesterday off following the conclusion of science data collection with EBEX, most of the team headed to the LDB facility today to start packing up the high bay. The main goal of today was to figure out what we could pack before the payload is recovered and try and get it mostly packed up. We in fact managed to do that and filled one of our 8' cube shipping containers.

Shaul left yesterday as well, and a bunch of the team will be leaving tomorrow to head back home. I will be staying around for recovery and packing, as will Jeff, Michele, Chappy, and Joy. Milligan will be here a few more days but won't stay for recovery, as he has a real job whose responsibilities he is shirking in order to be here in Antarctica with us.
